Twitter

Twitterland: how interesting and simple it is to remember to teach another to repeat and than spread the word around.

Twitter is free to register; there are no rules, it is social media hub for practically everyone, be they spammers or not.

Twitter users usually enjoy the time off the social blogosphere because it takes only 140 characters to twit, similar to texting messages to your friends.

My take after using twitter for since beginning of this year:
- Not for bloggers because traffic to your blogs will be lower. This is true if your blogs is not about make money online. Have spoken to at least 3 bloggers who love languages, philosophy and teaching. They admitted that people on twitterland only follow, chat but do not visit the blogs. I do agree with them totally, because,
the bulk of my traffic did not come from twitter, but from blogcatalog and organic traffic.

So why use Twitter?
Twitter works like the text messaging. If you receive a tweet or message, you are not obliged to reply immediately. Not until you log on and see that you've got mail.

With blogcatalog discussion post: if you start a new discussion, be sure to follow through and have time set aside to interact with other bloggers for that day or that period, or you'll get ignored.

Simply by announcing your presence does not mean you need to be available all the time for others. A simple thread like: back later, going for lunch or going to bed. That is good enough to inform all your followers you will not be available for chats or tweets.

Ok can you make money on twitter. Yes, once you get enough followers, tweet your affiliate links there and maybe, perhaps or probably you will get some click throughs. So good luck on your social media venture on twitter.
